The tables above show past performance of the ETF from its Inception Date and of the Index from its Base Date. Index performance shown prior to its Launch Date is simulated based on the current Index methodology. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of distributions. ETF results are net of management fees and costs, but before brokerage fees or bid/ask spreads incurred when investors buy/sell on the ASX. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance which may be lower or higher.

Growth of hypothetical $10,000 investment

The above graph is a hypothetical comparison of performance of a $10,000 investment in the Index and the Fund from the Fund Inception Date. The performance of the Fund assumes immediate reinvestment of distributions and is net of management costs and expenses, excluding brokerage and bid/offer spreads incurred when investors buy/sell on the ASX. The Index is unmanaged and performance assumes investment at Unit Prices and the immediate reinvestment of all dividends, and excludes the costs of investing in the Fund. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month. You cannot invest directly in the Index and ASX investors cannot invest in the Fund at Unit Prices. The above performance information is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance of the Index or Fund, which may be lower or higher.
